checkbox

Short Definition
An interactive element that allows users to select one or more options from a list by marking boxes, typically for settings or forms. Multiple checkboxes can be selected simultaneously.
Relevance
Checkboxes allow users to select multiple options. For accessibility, it’s essential that they are clearly labeled and easy to use with keyboard navigation or screen readers. Knowing this helps you assist others who may be unfamiliar with making multiple selections or navigating through a form, especially if they’re using unfamiliar devices or assistive tech.
